Write about the viability of photovoltaic system and passive design strategies toward near-zero energy in low-income residential buildings

Viability of photovoltaic system and passive design strategies

– The L.R. will be use in a research paper targeting Q1 or Q2 journals.
– The suggested research topic is: “The viability of photovoltaic system and passive design strategies toward near-zero energy in low-income residential buildings”

The suggested topics to be covered in the L.R. are as in the following: (you may add based on the suggested title of the paper)
Firstly, Zero-energy building concept

Secondly, Energy consumption in residential buildings

Thirdly, low-income residential buildings

Fourthly, passive design strategies to reduce energy consumption

Further, photovoltaic systems in general

Additionally, PV in residential building

Finally, feasibility analysis for energy-saving measures
– The need for such research

– L.R should use recent references (5 years old)

Photovoltaics and zero energy buildings: A new opportunity and challenge for design

Starting from the end of 2020, all new buildings will have to be Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (Nearly ZEBs—ED 2010/31/EU recast). This new ‘energy paradigm’ might be a revolution for architecture and for Photovoltaics (PV) too, but there are both cultural and technical obstacles to overcome. There is a need to re‐think the way buildings are design ed (integrating renewables for being ZE). There is a need to re‐think the way PV is design ed in buildings. PV will be gaining an increasing relevance in the ZEBs design. Thanks to its features and potentialities (suitability for any kind of energy demand of the building, easiness of building integration, cost). In a ZEB scenario, PV is very suitable for generating energy, ‘on site’ and ‘at site’; this enlarges the perspective of use of PV from the architectural scale to a wider scale, including the space close to the building or even to the urban and landscape scale. In such a new context, the existing research on the relationships between PV and architecture, focusing mainly on the way the PV components are used in relation to the envelope (Building‐integrated PV/Building‐added (Attached) PV), is no longer sufficient.
